Euro 2012 hasn’t gone great so far however I’m still
confident of turning things round due to the below:
Russia
Ante-Post bets on them to win the group and the tournament
are going well. They are one of the best supported sides and that gives the
feeling the tournament is being hosted by 3 nations. They’re turning up
everywhere, even at England’s game last night.
With Holland being absolutely dismal so far even if they do
get through I wouldn’t fancy them. Russia should beat Greece tonight and bring
in some money for the group winner bet, but then they will face the second
placed team from Group B. None of these sides should hold any fear for Russia
on current form, unless the Germans somehow throw it away.
France
Any twitter followers would have seen my tweet an in-play
bet on France v Ukraine at 2.26, this bet coming in really gave me a confident
boost. This was really needed after the previous days.
Ante-Post bets on them to win Group D now rest on them
beating Sweden by a larger margin than England beat Ukraine, with the Swedes
already out and looking really shaky at the back the chances of that happening
look good to me.
If they win the group the likelihood is they will face
Italy. I have been impressed with some of the Italians attacking play, but as
Croatia showed you can get some joy if you have a go at them. With the attack
minded players at Frances disposal I can see them having too much.
Russia v Greece
I was going to have the day off but I just can’t get away
from backing Russia. The way the Greeks have started their previous two matches,
this one could be over by half time. The Greeks attacking threat comes from
Samaras, I still think Russia are capable of being strong defensively and this
could be the game when they keep the clean sheet I’ve been expecting. Russia
have tired in the second half of matches but they’ve made fast starts.
For those reasons I’ve had two bets tonight...
Russia to be winning at Half Time 2.44 – Betfair 2.5% of Bank
Russia to beat Greece 1.86 – Betfair 5% of Bank*
*I may trade this in running
depending on how Russia are playing around 65 minutes
